Do you guys prefer donks to be on the right of you guys or would you move to an open seat to sit in between 2 donks?

This ^^^ imo.

I'd rather have a TAG-fish on my left than a pure donk. The donk is likely to defend his SB with a wide range, which then gives the BB decent odds to defend his, or if he's decent, squeeze a wide range. This is going to put me in the spot of re-re-stealing vs. squeezes, which isn't ideal imo.

The reason I like for the aggro-donk to be on my immediate left is he's going to try and hijack my button from me when he's in CO and I get to bitch-slap him into submission with light 3-bets However, if said aggro-donk is so aggro that he's calling my 3-bets light, we may have a problem. If he tends to c/f his crappy holdings/play his hand face-up on the flop, then I don't mind him flatting crap hands oop. However, if he continues to put up a fight postflop, then I'm probably changing tables. It's just a big hassle having him trying to hijack my button constantly, then refusing to fold postflop, which gets in the way of my blind stealing, ultimately lowering my winrate on that table.

I like my donks/fish to be on my right but if i seat open ups between two 60+ vp i dont know why i choose to sit in between them since ill get most of their action.

Just wondering if this is a good place to sit or i will be fighting against loose donks.

Imo, you should be okay if you've got a 60% VPiP on each side. Just realize stealing the blinds is not going to be your source of profit as you're not going to be able to steal with a wide range, unless the donk on your right tends to c/f flops. If you scale back to 20% attempt to steal, you'll probably be just fine though. I just prefer to be seated such that I can steal 30%-40%.

Whenever you select a seat (or take an action), you need to ask yourself, "Where will my profit come from?" While stealing is usually the best/most consistent source of profit, you will be able to take a pair of 60% VPiPs to value-town enough to profit plenty. Just adjust to their looseness & play accordingly.
